Writing Screenplays, Stage Plays, and Comics to Tell a Science Story

Within the MA EGOS - European and Global Studies and the Course of International History of Science and Technology, the cross-disciplinary laboratory with Dr. Emanuela Agostini (playwright) will be held on 23 and 24 October 2023 in Room A (Ca' Dottori, via del Santo 28) from 15:00 to 18:45.

Aimed at experimenting with the possibility of using writing for documentary films, theatre, comics to communicate the multiple interactions between science, technology and foreign policy, the laboratory is dedicated to students of International History of Science and Technology. However, it is also possible for students of other courses to participate. Please contact as soon as possible the course teacher, David Burigana (david.burigana@unipd.it).
